Color-coded hPDA cards?

Do any of you use color-coded index cards? Mine are currently all white, unruled, and I'm starting to use my own DIY hipster-ish thing since I didn't quite like the one on DIY Planner. I'm trying to eliminate the tags sticking out, and I've started grouping the cards by "meta-context" (broader contexts that smaller ones fit into), and I'm thinking of making all the "Home" ones one color, all the "People" one another.

What do y'all do?

I print my hipster cards...

I print my hipster cards 4-up, and I have started running a highlighter of various colors over the dotted lines so when I cut them there is a hint of color on the cards.

My printer is being completely bonkers right now and spraying ink at the bottom of every page so I'm in the midst of trying to fix that at the moment, or I'll get another printer that can just print straight to 3x5 :P

I think my problem is, oddly enough, that I'm using 3rd party inks. Not that you care.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
